How close are you to APG? There will be loads of people moving to APG soon from NJ. The earlier you get on the better.:D
 
Currently I'm an Audio Visual Coordinator at a catholic university.


Yeah, I'm an AV Dork right now.

I'm also a venture capitalist.... kinda, lol.
 
Research Associate for the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, DC. We gather groups of experts to write advisory scientific reports for Congress (that they mostly ignore, after they basically demand we write it).

I mostly do Google searches for appropriate literature, contact prospective committee members, and of course, surf HBT.com.

And I can't wait to get out of this city!
Any NPS or FWS people on the East Coast that need a biologist??? :D
 
I'm an Internet SysOp. I reboot the internet for a rural school district.

Anyway, I'm a Lighting, Exit & Emergency and Fire Alarm Systems Designer for one of the largest records management companies in the US, sounds fancy and all, but kinda isn't. I spend my free time designing 3D models of Fire Apparatus (I'm a volunteer Fireman) and wondering each day if I should think if a career change that would use my hobbies and talent more than my current job of just dropping pre-made blocks of symbols in AutoCAD drawings and the occasional photometric design that actually is quite fun.
